CREATING PERFORMANCE METRICS

What is the impact of your organization’s work? Foundations, philanthropists, and boards of directors increasingly want to know how various inputs are translating into actual impact on the ground.

We can help you design and implement performance metrics, from identifying key indicators and establishing the baseline to tracking progress and presenting the results.
